Can't install TPT

    I recently switched from HDD to SSD (And reinstalled my OS, lubuntu 18.04).

    And then I tried to redownload this nice game.

    But. Then this appears and I don't know what to do:

    ???

    EDIT:

    It doesn't show an error when I run it in terminal..

    And it keeps giving this message each time I start TPT. (For some reason I can click "dismiss" and I can play normally...)

    Does it remember stuff you type into the console? (No, I don't mean the terminal, I mean TPT's own console.)

    The console is completely clear after I click dismiss.

    Edit:

    I also get logged out and my favorite items are reset.

    In that case, most likely TPT fails to write to powder.pref. This can be caused by a lot of things, the most likely being that the user you run TPT with doesn't have access to the directory you run TPT in.

     I moved the TPT folder somewhere else and it installed succesfully, thanks!

    This of course begs the question: if your use doesn't have access to that directory, how did you manage to download TPT there? Moral of the story: don't download stuff as root.
